It certainly feels like there has been a change in momentum in the Eagles’ search for a head coach.
It definitely looks like Josh McDaniels is the new favorite after the Patriots offensive coordinator meets the Eagles for a lengthy interview in Palm Beach, Fla. On Sunday.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler’s latest tweet seems to indicate McDaniels might be the guy.
While the Eagles have yet to schedule a virtual interview with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, as far as I know that interview request is still on the table.
And the Eagles interviewed Todd Bowles on Monday. So why would they go through this process if they had already landed permanently on McDaniels?
But it looks like McDaniels is gaining ground as a favorite. Even a mysterious tweet from Bieniemy’s agency made McDaniels look like the Eagles were almost done.
And some betting sites seem to agree.
According to John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the interview with McDaniels was long and lasted over 21 hours with Jeff Lurie and other Eagles staff.
Including Bowles, we know the Eagles interviewed seven candidates for the job: Joe Brady, Robert Saleh, Arthur Smith, Jerod Mayo, Duce Staley, Bowles and McDaniels. Also, they would have asked for a few more: Brandon Staley, Bieniemy and Kellen Moore.
Of these 10 coaches, three have already been hired elsewhere.
When the Eagles began their coach search on Jan. 11 – they got off to a late start – there were seven head coaching positions. There are only two now.
Jaguars: Urban Meyer
Jets: Robert Saleh
Falcons: Arthur Smith
Chargers: Brandon Staley
Lions: Dan Campbell
